Like every good origin story, Best4Tires began life in a garage. In 1973 Heinrich Gundlach established Reifen Gundlach, which, under the name Best4Tires, is one of today’s most important full-service providers of tires, complete wheels, rims, TPMS and accessories. The courage to innovate and a unique sense of the market's needs can be seen in the ever improving standards as a service and solutions provider of tires, rims and complete wheels.

First retail store opened

1986:
Wholesale business started
Reifen Gundlach becomes a wholesaler and pushes the pedal to the metal. Instead of selling to individuals face to face, the target is now specialist retailers. The first trade fair visits take place.
